Without specifying the native American tribe, Southeast Queens Press (website) explains that "the Golf course acquired its name from an old Indian name for the area - "Idalwilde" - or peaceful and savage."

It's unclear whether similar names, like Idylwilde, CO or Idyllwilde, CA have a common etiology from a Native American language.
